Outing Club learns Winter Survival Skills

CEHS Outing Club joins clubs from around Maine @ 3rd Annual Teens to Trails Winter Skills Weekend.
January 7 & 8 was a perfect weekend for it -- the temperature at the trailhead was -6 ºF and the overnight low was -12 ºF!
Students, chaperones and advisors skied and snowshoed 2 and 1/2 miles to Flagstaff Hut, an off-the-grid eco lodge situated along an 80-mile trail system operated by Maine Huts and Trails. Josh, Mike and Rob with the Outdoor Sport Institute led the training sessions. Among other things, we now know how to make an outdoor winter kitchen and what to do when someone falls through the ice (step one, don't!). This weekend was made possible and affordable by Lee Auto Mall, Teens to Trails, Maine Huts and Trails and the Outdoor Sport Institute.
